Welcome to Kia's Corner

I'm Kia, I'm Dutch but I did my bachelor at university in England which has taught me so much not just about English as a language but also about writing.
English and Dutch are not the only languages I know, I also know French, German, HTML, Java, PHP and Assembly and am in the middle of learning Japanese.
Other than learning languages and writing I like to read, paint Warhammer, crochet, knit and play videogames.

The books I like to read and write it stretch across genres and ages as I like to experiment and learn new things. Most of all I write for Young Adult or New Adult market and usually have female or minority characters. Genre wise I write contemporary, fantasy, paranormal and magical realism stories, some with and some without romance, though love and friendship does often feature in the stories.
